Fundraisers
Many ways to support the Phil.
One way is by participating in one of our annual fundraisers! These fundraisers help offset costs associated with bringing high-quality traditional choral music.
The Phil runs four fundraisers a year:
Red River Co-Op Gift Card Sale
Poinsettia Plant Sale
Sobeys/Safeway Gift Card Sale
Spring Plant Sale
Plant Sale – Spring (yearly)
We partner yearly with Glenlea Greenhouses for our Spring Plant Sale. Glenlea Greenhouses offers top-quality plants at competitive prices, with fundraising selections including annuals, perennials, vegetables and herbs. For the balcony or window box gardener, they offer beautiful hanging baskets and mixed containers, or you can create your own from a gorgeous selection of container plants. Opulent pots of fall chrysanthemums can be ordered at the same time for delivery after Labour Day. If you are interested in plants that aren’t among the fundraising options, consider ordering plant cards; these can be used to shop in person at the retail location just south of Winnipeg or at the Glenlea booth at local farmers’ markets (see Glenlea website).
Please share the link (www.glenleagreenhouses.com) with friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. Depending on how much we sell, The Phil can expect to receive 20-25% (before tax) of the value of all plant sales and 15% ($3.75 each) on gift cards. The plants are always of terrific quality, and you’ll be supporting a local, family-run business as well as the Phil.
Thanks for your support!
The Annual Plant Sale for 2024 is now closed. Details for the Annual Plant Sale will be posted when it opens in Spring 2025.
Red River Co-op Grocery Card Sale – Fall & Winter (twice yearly)
Here's how it works:
Cards are available in amounts of $25, $50 and $100 and can be used for grocery and pharmacy shopping but not fuel purchases at any Red River Co-op food store (in Winnipeg, Selkirk, Lorette, Stonewall, Gimli and Niverville). This means you can support the choir with your regular grocery shopping trips!
You buy Red River Co-op Gift cards for face value and you get face value. Each card automatically includes a 10% donation to the Phil from Red River Co-op
Shop at Red River Co-op Food Store locations as you normally would for grocery and pharmacy needs, and pay with your fundraising gift card
It's that easy! You can order in any multiple of $25, and Co-op will add up the cards to equal your chosen amount. Cards will be available a couple of weeks after the deadline.
Thanks for your support!

We can arrange delivery within the city of Winnipeg for a fee.
All proceeds help ensure that the Phil can continue to bring high-calibre choral music live to Winnipeg.
